The White House strategy to leak a far reaching executive office proposal (Fox News) appears to have been deliberately done to initiate angst in advance of a somewhat lesser, but still stretching, objective.   By leaking an extreme case scenario the lesser proposal usurpation becomes diluted/moderated.  President Obama is scheduled to give a prime time speech tomorrow night at 8pm with details saved for Friday in Las Vegas.

(Washington Post) President Obama will announce Thursday that he will use his executive authority to expand temporary protections to millions of undocumented immigrants, according to several individuals who have been briefed on the decision. Obama will travel to Las Vegas on the heels of that announcement to rally support for his initiative on Friday.
Congress will receive official details on the move Thursday, according to a senior Democratic Party official.
Even before final confirmation of the president’s plans, outside advocates began readying events to promote the administration’s immigration policy. (more…)

Last week, on a Friday no less, Joe Biden executed a full usurpation of immigration law that had nothing to do with Presidential Executive Orders.

Vice-President Joe Biden announced the latest White House scheme, setting the table for a massive, economy-crushing influx of dependent people from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador – yet few were paying attention.
In what may well be intended as the immigration knockout blow called “In-Country Refugee/Parole Program for Minors in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras With Parents Lawfully Present in the United States” (link).
When you drill down through the legalese presented in the summary announcement you find some interesting aspects to this new program: (more…)

The Purge Mentality Comes To Saint Louis

Many people are alarmed that the FBI has announced an expectation for “extremist protesters” with a specific intent for violence in/around Saint Louis/Ferguson Missouri.
However, this is not the first time this year such an alarming declaration has been made.  After the ABC article spotlighting the Ferguson/Saint Louis unrest, we’ll share the earlier episode everyone seems to forget:

SAINT LOUIS – As the nation waits to hear whether a Missouri police officer will face charges for killing unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., the FBI is warning law enforcement agencies across the country that the decision “will likely” lead some extremist protesters to threaten and even attack police officers or federal agents.
Peaceful protesters could be caught in the middle, and electrical facilities or water treatment plants could also become targets. In addition, so-called “hacktivists” like the group “Anonymous” could try to launch cyber-attacks against authorities. (more…)

Bret Baier utilized research tonight on his show “Special Report” that was done by Jane Hamsher -back in 2010 and 2011- surrounding Jonathan Gruber and the construct of ObamaCare legislation.  Hamsher did an exceptional job, yet, at the time, few were listening….

FLASHBACK MAY 2010 – HUFFINGTON POST Up until this point, most of the attention regarding the failure to disclose the connection between Jonathan Gruber and the White House has fallen on Gruber himself. Far more troubling, however, is the lack of disclosure on the part of the White House, the Senate, the DNC and other Democratic leaders who distributed Gruber’s work and cited it as independent validation of their proposals, orchestrating the appearance of broad consensus when in fact it was all part of the same effort.
The White House is placing a giant collective bet on Gruber’s “assumptions” to justify key portions of the Senate bill such as the “Cadillac tax,” which they allowed people to believe was independent verification. Now that we know that Gruber’s work was not that of an independent analyst but rather work performed as a contractor to the White House and paid for by taxpayers, and economists like Larry Mishel are raising serious questions about its validity, it should be made publicly available so others can judge its merits.

About a decade ago, as the millennial generation entered the workforce, we noted the “everyone deserves a trophy” view was leading directly to a very specific vision of liberal utopia.
As the years have “progressed” the ideology has mainstreamed to a fevered pitch.  The overarching Marxist ideology -born within the think tank branches of the Frankfurt School- was finally dropping the ripened fruit.

In New York, Mayor Bloomberg knows better: you don’t need Soda, Donuts or Salt;  Michelle Obama knows what your kids need in their lunches;  Barack Obama and Jonathan Gruber know what healthcare you deserve…. the entire ideological spectrum of fellow travelers look down upon the proletariat:  “all your children are belong to us“.
By 2009 the domestic team was assembled.  Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, was appointed by the head of the organization to synergize the various constructs:
♦ The EPA would control your energy use  ♦ the FDA would advance upon your food/beverage allowances ♦ the Dept of Education would adjust the generational indoctrination principles to reflect the modern advances, and the need to move the goalposts further away from traditional values.
Banking and Finance sectors would be regulated to insure effective Social Engineering was possible;  HHS would insure healthcare apportionment was under full regime control, meanwhile the DOJ would be utilized the insure compliance.
In order to insure the required electoral groups stayed asleep – the principles of dependency would simultaneously be expanded.   This was essentially paying off the electorate for allowing the constructs to continue.   Pullet lever – get pellet.
Any non-conforming entity was viewed as a risk. (more…)

LITMUS TEST !!!   Enough is Enough

WESTMINSTER — An unruly public hearing on a proposal to prohibit the sale of tobacco products came to a sudden and rowdy halt Wednesday evening after shouting and clapping opponents of the ban repeatedly refused the chairwoman’s request to come to order.

The ban, proposed by the Board of Health in this Central Massachusetts town, would be the first of its kind in the state. It has led to angry reactions from residents who worry that it will hurt the local economy and allow government too much discretion in controlling private conduct.
“This is about freedom; it’s my body and it’s my choice to smoke,” said Nate Johnson, 32, a Westminster farmer and auto body worker. He was puffing on a cigarette at a rally before the hearing where opponents held signs saying “It’s not about tobacco — it’s about control” and “Smoke ’em if you got them.” (more…)

A person could write lengthy paragraphs digging into the mindset of those who cannot fathom an innocent person being allowed to continue being innocent.   However, in the final analysis you end in a place where you recognize generations of appeased dependency have given rise to a societal construct unwilling, and unable, to conceive of their demands not being appeased. 
Personally, I prefer to allow the groups’ ideological views to speak for themselves.  (Pictured here):

(Reuters) – Activists protesting the fatal shooting in August of an unarmed black teen by a white policeman expressed anger on Saturday after the city’s police chief told local media the officer could return to work if a grand jury does not to charge him criminally.
The St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, which saw weeks of sometimes violent protests following the Aug. 9 shooting, is on edge as a grand jury decides whether the officer, Darren Wilson, will face charges for the shooting of Michael Brown.
Wilson would likely be fired if he is indicted, but could immediately return to duty if he is not, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told St. Louis broadcaster KSDK, adding that he had not spoken with Wilson to know if he wanted to rejoin the department. (more…)

James O’Keefe introduced the world to this type of mentality during his exceptional sting of NPR, the Praetorian Guard of media, in 2011 – Story Here.  William Tucker wrote a great article as a follow-up and describes the personality traits accurately:

(American Spectator) James O’Keefe’s NPR sting has to be one of the most beautifully orchestrated deceptions in the annals of journalism. I think the academy award for performance in a documentary should go to that bushy-bearded “Arab” who, on hearing NPR executive Richard Schiller say, “Let me take off my NPR hat” and launching into his Tea Party rant, intones in a marvelously phony North African accent, “I like it when you take off your NPR hat.” That was the laugh line of the year.

Jake Tapper via Washington (CNN) — In a 2011 conversation about the Affordable Care Act, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the law more commonly known as Obamacare, talked about how the bill would get rid of all tax credits for employer-based health insurance through “mislabeling” what the tax is and who it would hit.

In recent days, the past comments of Gruber — who in a 2010 speech noted that he “helped write the federal bill” and “was a paid consultant to the Obama administration to help develop the technical details as well” — have been given renewed attention. (more…)
